From his Meet the Fans Google Hangout, Sonny Rollins answers a question from Soren Hvenegaard. Sonny's new recording, Road Shows, vol. 3 here: smarturl.it/rs-road-vol3-dig - Hudba
Sonny seems so kind, patient, and thorough with his answers and doesn't dismiss the kid in any way. It made me cringe a little bit when "jazz video guy" barked at him to finish his question and then rolled his eyes and shook his head. Seems we can all learn something from the legend that Sonny Rollins is.
Yeah man he came off looking like a judgmental uptight snob. This kid is young, genuine and asking for advice from Sonny. That's a cool thing.
Yea and he was getting feedback. Was no reason for him to roll his eyes and be dismissive and rush his question.
I notice the eye roll as well, Sonnys the chillest cat of them all, that guy really came off like a jerk with the facial reactions. people...
I thought I was the only one that caught that. As a kid, I was very, very sensitive and that would've made me crawl back into my mental 'cave' for a while. Not cool. My late uncle knew him, and might've played with a couple of times. I remember once inquiring about Sonny, my uncle abruptly blurted out, " Oh...that's a beautiful, brother! Very, very kind."
Yeah, thanks for point that out. That's what it is to pass on the knowledge to the next generation. If the "video guy" paid attention he'd have understood that Sonny was exactly where that kid was when he was young. The kid was obviously nervous, for goodness sake, Sonny is one of the top five sax players ever. How would you like to be a teenager and get to speak with a legend like that!
"I practice aaall the time; still today". Sonny Rollins.
I can't believe how wonderful this video is. This old man talking to this young boy about music, just amazing.
If only the people in the comments section were real people (more than one person), but it seems that right has been taken from me. You won't know the last of it, I'm going to shock the shit out of you through the internet and this sudden scare will feel like a mental punch in the face, don't believe me, well then it will really shock you and this will bring you back to the reality of what you're doing, that it is completely thoughtless.
“There’s always something to learn” So true.
every day
@conrad I guess not Conrad. Perhaps it's time for me to retire and delete this entire channel. Then you won't have to endure my ignorance any longer.
thank you Sonny Rollins for saying just what I needed to hear right now in the answer to the 2nd question. thank you nervous teenager for getting your 2nd question out, allowing the master to respond in a manner which is almost like the universe reaching out to me.
Thanks again Jazz Video Guy for another great video. I'm going to watch each one. They are gems hearing Mr. Rollins speak from his heart about "jazz" and everything connected to it in his craft. Love tenor sax. He gives it life!
You HAVE to LOVE sonny man, what an amazing human being and incredible player with a wealth of musical knowledge that many of us only dream of. Nothing but RESPECT for that man. Thank you Sonny, we LOVE you.
Man, this is pure GOLD! Thanks Bret.
Thanks our fantastic Sonny !!
He has such wisdom!
I learned from the BIG GUYS. Sonny, you're THE BIG GUY!
This is the iconic role model. Do not let distraction get in your way of knowledge.
Man this is just great.
..brilliant sonny
Thank You!
Thanks for posting.
loved this :-)
I love Sonny’s 1974 concert at Ronnie Scott’s. Brilliant show!
true dat!
I love the Sonny Rollins' wisdom. Great video, but he never said how he practices! Never answered the question. So what does he do, cop licks and play them over and over at home? Play scales, tunes, what? One thing that is hard to know is how to practice!
the question was how have your routines changed
I have heard sonny in his dressing room warming up , believe me he don't need to practice from what I heard
Such a well informed interviewer.
Living legend, Sonny Rollins, Tenor Madness!
Yup, so true.
I saw him live in Tarrytown NY around 1993
Great stuff here.
Quite an interesting fellow, Mr. R.
All the words in the world won't help you be a great jazz musician, you have to figure it out yourself!!!!!
By the way music is love! If you love love enough, you'll make it.
I haven’t seen this before, but there were very wise words from Sonny
He has many words of wisdom.
Thank you Soren for making an interview with a Jazz master about as awkward as possible.
+Pedulla 2015 I think if I had met Sonny at that age, I would have been just as awkward or more haha still a great video
dude you're ruining the joke
Sonny Rollins is a god yo
❤️
Louis Jourdan, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young.... and "the others" - (Charlie Parker maybe so?)
Jazz Video Guy 's face at 3:13!!!! Haha that made me sooo happy! Poor 'ol Soren was struggling with one of the all-time greats!
Thanks for the video!
i want to ask sonny a question how do i do that?
so, what is his routine?
I think the man on the right is kind of impatient with kids :p watch his face. Illuminating stuff nonetheless.
@Traditional Harmonicas Grumpy, impatient old underachiever. Takes one to know one. lol. ouch ! :) :(
Does anyone know the what the cool headphones Sonny is using are?
He was using my headphones, Sony MDR-X10
Get in with it. Jazz is as jazz is
he's 70 years old this year! so cool.
ulf gjerdingen He is 87 years old
Can it be that Sonny is neglecting to mention Charlie Parker? BIrd had a profound influence on him.
In my opinion, more than anyone.
If you love music enough, like Sonny does, you'll figure it out, like Sonny did.
Facilitator after the kid rambles on the first question: ".... Hokay."Let me replace this kid jeez
Why didn't Sonny mention Charlie Parker? Parker, the guy who could play rings around anyone.

He's talking about his tenor influences.
I thought I was responding to the Charlie Parker comment. Sorry about that.
then ummm then ummm then ummm .... The other guy (very interesting)
Jesus! Who is this kid?? Can’t even finish a sentence...
Yeah, he’s a kid who’s nervous and you’re just an asshole.
